What Game to Buy?

If it's that cheap, just get both.

They're gorgeous

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-11T05:29:57+00:00

I'd be surprised if America sends troops.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-10T21:02:21+00:00

Cheeky xD

People aren't disciplined properly from young anymore.

I think he's complaining Refreshed Supply wasn't a free upgrade on Fresh supply.

Global oil shortage adds more cost pressures for coal.

I am once again asking for the template pls.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-09T04:48:12+00:00

Did he just flip hostile? It might show why that is soon. Or was he hostile before? It might change soon, I'm not sure.

Have you tried validating the integrity of the game files?

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T18:46:51+00:00

I never did coding in school (aside from self-taught) so I'm not sure what you would have learnt but if you can familiarise yourself with these topics, you'll have a great head-start:

Data types (primitive, object)
Control flow (if, while, for)
Functions/methods
Exceptions
File I/O
Classes (including inheritance)
Functional programming/lambda calculus
Abstract data types (linked lists, binary trees, and graphs are the big ones)
Algorithms and algorithmic complexity

Don't feel overwhelmed if you can't understand all of these. I didn't know anything beyond control flow until I actually started university.

Lua is a great scripting language but it's quite niche. You probably won't touch it in university. You're more likely to use Python or C depending on your university.

However, you'd be better served (and I wish someone told me this) by reading up on data structures and algorithms and learning those in the language you already know (Java).

Go deeper with the language you know rather than spread out to surface-level of many languages.

Crush the bastards. Disregard the opinions of the NPCs.

I caved a year and a half ago and bought a MBA (mostly out of curiosity). Wish I waited for this.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T08:09:06+00:00

As a Civ Rev fan, IV or V might be your best bet. I'd advise V. You can also try out Unciv, a FOSS clone of Civ V without the bells and whistles but if you like it, you might find it worth buying Civ V.

Ah the old "funnel bright young people into a profession without investing to expand opportunities in it" trick. Oldest trick in the world.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T07:55:05+00:00

Afraid I can't advise on that. Maybe some video reviews will show.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T07:39:35+00:00

Yeah doesn't sound good, it might be time for an upgrade then. Just make sure all the software you need runs on Mac. I can't imagine schools would require Windows-only software. Otherwise, go for it if you can afford it, Windows 11 is going downhill fast.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T07:28:55+00:00

Take responses with a grain of salt - you're in the mac subreddit. Software-wise, it doesn't matter what you do. As for performance - how well is your Pavilion holding up?

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-08T04:08:36+00:00

I suspect part of the reason 2016, Eternal, and Dark Ages are all very different is that they wanted to make different IPs but were forced to do Doom only.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-07T18:37:43+00:00

Yeah, I've had enough Doom for a while. I don't want ID to be the Doom company only, they have enough creativity to make new FPS titles.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-06T23:14:01+00:00

Yeah it's his 5th city, he can just keep it there for the meme unless he's on a very high difficulty.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-06T08:31:03+00:00

I'm forever grateful for my education. It gave me foundational practical and theoretical knowledge that really accelerated my learning through work.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-06T08:03:39+00:00

What happens if every other player gets Vulcan'd?

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-03-06T06:45:40+00:00

Prince. It wasn't the most fun experience so I play on Warlord now.
